Educational Trips and Visits

We believe that trips and visits greatly enhance children’s learning and we therefore go on lots of them. We are committed to the provision of regular educational visits for the children; to enhance the school curriculum and to give them experiences that develop their understanding of the curriculum and within their place within London and the wider world. Some of our trips include London’s art galleries and museums, local libraries and bookshops, and London Zoo.

Year 6 attend a week’s residential at the end of their time in primary school. We strongly encourage all parents to allow their children to attend this valuable experience which promotes independence before moving onto secondary school.

Partnerships

In addition to arranging educational visits, the school regularly hosts visiting artists, musicians and authors who perform to the children and lead workshops. We have strong partnerships with The Royal Academy of Music, Orchestra of the Age of the Enlightenment, Cross Teach, Josh Seigal and Giorgio Locatelli to name a few.

In Year 5 children take part in the Raising Aspirations programme. Each term they are visited in school by an inspirational speaker from business and they also visit a place of work to learn about different careers.

Trips and Visits

We are very pleased to be able to go out on trips and visits. This is a really important part of our educational provision to ensure we provide our children with a wide, rich set of experiences. Trips and visits enhance the school curriculum and give the children experiences that develop their understanding of their place within London and the wider world.

Raising Aspirations

Year 5 take part in the Raising Aspirations project which involves visits to various workplaces. This academic year, year 5 will be visiting Derwent London, Google and Brompton Bikes to name but a few.

Abbey Farm

A selection of ten year 5 and year 6 children attend a residential visit each autumn to a working farm, to develop their confidence and independence in a safe and secure environment.
